General

Land managers and the public often have the perception that, although prescribed fire assists in management of fire-dependent landscapes, it presents greater risks than the use of other land management tools, such as mechanical removal. 

Celebrate Great Plains Fire Science Exchange’s 10 Year Anniversary!
